Gimme Jobs!

July 29, 2009

jobsObama has demonstrated his commitment to job creation. The trillion dollar stimulus creates all sorts of new government jobs. That’s what we need – more jobs. I love jobs don’t you? Well I fear Obama has erratically changed his mind on jobs. He is ordering his administration to destroy jobs.

Yes I’m serious. The Obama administration recently made budget cuts for a total of over 100 million dollars in savings. These cuts included deleting inactive e-mail accounts at the Navy, using double sided paper at the Justice Department, and eliminating unused phonelines at the Office of Thrift Supervision. Has Obama gone mad? What about the paper mills, the e-mail providers, and the phone companies? Who will buy their products to give them jobs? Obama actually went as far as to fire a few people at the Labor Department in his budget-cutting frenzy.

How are we to trust Obama is serious about job creation when he is literally firing people?  His 100 million dollar savings may be a nice PR move but jobs are no trivial matter.  You can’t create jobs while simultaneously destroying jobs. It is amazing how shortsighted some people are. Not me – I’m getting ready to break some windows.  Glaziers need jobs too.

I apologize in advance for my smug sarcasm…
